Abstract
Learning, which is a step-by-step process in which an individual experiences permanent, lasting changes in knowledge, behaviors or ways of processing the world, is an area in which Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can have significant influence. This study principally identified and established Students’ Perception of ICTs on Teaching and Learning at Wurishei Community Al-Badah Junior High School. The study employed simple random sampling technique in selecting a sample size of 45 out of 150 students. Structured and semi- structured questionnaire were used to collect primary data from respondents. The primary data of the study was analyzed using Excel. The study identified Computer, Phone, CD/DVD Player, Television, Printer and Modem as the common ICTs facilities available for use by students for learning. Factors identified as militating against the use of ICTs by students included limited duration of ICT lessons as well as teachers’ inability to cater for individual learning needs during classes. Students who used ICTs for learning perceived it to be very interactive, more fun and motivating. In conclusion, the study recommended that the teachers should incorporate more TLMs into the lessons to make it more interactive for students. To modernize the educational system is the right way to improve the quality of our educational system through ICT use and that both strong and weak students benefit from ICT use. ICT use has positive effects on behavior, communication and process skills.
